#2k SPM - single oil setup?

I was doing some maths on how much resources I need to finish my 2k SPM base, and it only came out to 51 refineries (with prod3 + 8 beacons).

Is it a good idea to centralize all of oil? 51 refineries into 16 heavy-> light cracking into 37 light->petrol cracking. Not sure how I'll be able to split the 6 pumps of water I'll need across cracking/refineries - would a single pipeline be fine?

Also just in general, how much do I want to overproduce? e.g. I'll need 12 blue belts of plastic, so I should probably overproduce to 16?

I'm fairly certain I won't have a problem with the smeltable products, but fluids arent my strong suit : )

Single pipes work reliably for 1000 units per second. 1200 if you push it and optimise a lot. In 2.0 (soon) the pipes will have infinite throughput in a 256*256 area so this is less of an issue and a single pipe could potentially be used.

256, 250, all about the same.

Yes, but we all know that about the same is not the same

Apparently it was recently changed to 320x320

320 is objectively worse than 256, but also better than 250 trianglepupper
